Zitat des Tages von Monica Johnson:
The lusts of this world leads us to fulfill our carnal need to be accepted, but as children of God we are already accepted by a Heavenly Father who is over and above all things.
Young people are not immune to following God's commands concerning discipline.
Make intercessory prayer a priority in your life and the life of your family. It will cause you to be more empathetic, less self-obsessed, and increasingly more like Christ.
No marketing plan is ever going to bring in one soul that was not ordained by the Lord to be saved in the first place.
God has given His children a love that is so great in Christ that the world can't touch it with chocolates, roses, or diamonds.
Christian children should be taught at an early age that everything they receive is because of God's grace and love. They will grow up more appreciative and begin to understand that they, too, must have a relationship with Christ. Christian children should also be taught how to give.
Those who operate through the Holy Spirit are more equipped to resist temptation.
We will never accomplish what God wants for our lives unless we stop making excuses for ourselves and pampering our flesh. When we get into seemingly impossible situations, we have to remember - it's not about us.
As you submit to God more and more, you will get accustomed to being nourished by the power of truth. He is so holy that He cannot lie. God reveals His truth to His people through the Holy Spirit.
Holiness through Christ's Spirit is the accountability every Christian should be striving towards.
I often think about Christ having all power, but He abdicated the power to live a sacrificial life for His children. In His own words he told his disciples that His meat was to do the will of the Father.
No holiday, no job, no amount of money, not even my own security can mean more to me than my love for God.
Many of our choices have led to the predicaments we are presently complaining about.
It's not about me - four simple words that described the life of Christ. Do you call yourself a Christian? Well then, you're not off the hook. You don't get to claim 'Me, myself, and I' as your four words. 'It's not about me' should describe your life as well.
Can a secular artist be used as a vessel to bring souls to Christ? Of course... this is God we are talking about!
Complaining is an insult to God.
Even though, there are many who describe themselves as Christian, most do not heed to God's word without subjectivity.
Some churches make intercessory prayer part of their weekly schedule. If that's not the case at your church, find another person in the faith to intercede with or go before God on your own.
It is obvious that God is looking at the heart when sacrifices are given to Him. He takes no delight in those who give up things for Lent and then act like it's such a struggle to perform what they said they wanted to do for Him.
Falling is a hard thing to do whether you are a Christian or not, but when you are in Christ, it comes with a deep sadness for letting your Savior down.
It's funny how we 'do' Christmas. Christmas is not something that we do, it is something that was done. It celebrates the long awaited arrival of the Messiah, Jesus Christ. We had nothing to do with it, but what we can do is praise God for the coming of the Lord, who washed away the sins of the world by dying on the cross.
Parents are to be respected - it Is a commandment from God.
Why do people get upset when Christians say there is only one way to Heaven? Shouldn't those who follow a particular religion believe its doctrine to be true?
Just the simple act of sharing wisdom is something that many parents have left to society to do; however, that is not what God teaches in His word.
It's easy to praise God in the good times, but what about when the storms of your flesh are a-brewin'? Not so easy then!
Real Christianity is based upon God's word given to us through the scriptures, and His word is final.
During the holiday season, Christmas specifically, it can be hard to be away from family and friends.
The word of God is very important to Christmas. For unto us a child was born, and we should be reminded of how Christ's amazing journey came to be.
It's disheartening to write goals from year to year, looking back only to see you are in the same place. You can make so many promises that you get sick of yourself, but what is it that God can't do?
Jesus is coming back for a church without a spot or a wrinkle. His righteous blood covers the spots and the wrinkles of those who believe unto righteousness, allowing once sinful men to be holy.
Not to be harsh, but why do we care so much about celebrity acceptance of Christian beliefs?
A Christian without a God who hears them? That's not a place that one who truly serves Christ wants to find themselves.
Though monetary compensation may never add up, teachers can rest assured that they are important.
Christians cannot be so joined to this world that they forget who they serve.
God can show you just what you need to give, even if you don't know exactly why you're giving it. That's why we should always seek God and prepare to give Him our very best.
Luck really has nothing to do with human existence, since God is not a random God.
